Jessie,
A few hints. If you are moving from Parsifal/Encore and LammM1.1 world into the world of SETs and Horn then do not be in hurry to commit yourself and do not create to yourself artificial addictions.
When I talk about artificial addictions I...

Hi Romy,
FYI: The previous photo of some unknown persons "pile o' horns" appears to be:
Upper midrange: 1" TAD TD-2002 mounted to 650Hz Edgarhorn
Supertweeter: Fostex T90A or T925A.
Lower midrange: ...

Hi Guys,An idea I've had for damping thinner horns in a more or less aesthetically pleasing manner is to house the horn in a Sonotube rigid cardboard cylindrical concrete former, and then apply the desired damping material inside the Sonotube.&n...

Allo fellas,
Regarding pricing, best if you check with Martin; I know what I'm paying but I had to commission them specially - I know a hell of a lot of work went into making the mould, jigs to support the mould, etc etc. Actually the 340s were my c...

Hi allIf anyone wants to go for a UK or US group buy on these, please let me know and we can co-ordinate with Martin. Likewise, if you can't find his email address online, drop me an email via the site and I will put you in touch.Cheers,cv...

A mix of conctrete and steel skeleton is a very good mixture, particularly for the upperbass horn. BTW, go not be “disappointed” that you did not go for Tractrix. The Tractrix has many advantages but for the range where you operate I hardly see any a...

hi romyi am listening now abought 2 weeks my orphean horns. when they arrived, i first connect them to my electronic crossover, and they sound horny, very bad. after i connect them to the own crossover, sound changed right away. now, that i heard mos...

The following link will take you to images showing my construction method for small to medium-sized horns (click on the images... to view the explanations) : http://s172.photobucket.com/albums/w3/jessie-dazzle/400Hz%20Tractrix%20Horn/ Since these are...

Back to the subject of this thread!
I heard some rendition of Dr Edgar's gigantic monsters at the Montreal
show this year (2006) running with Modwright electronics, some 16 wpc
tube amplification (possibly SET). There was in that room also...

If you have suitable space behind your listing position you could maybe use a pair of K-horns with a single Vitavox the same way you used your big midbass horns in the old house. There are always some empty cabs , original or clones available . They ...

I tried a highly modded DEQX on my horns for some time, we did all the time alignment with it, we used 1st order and 4th order xovers and everything in between, we used LeCleach adjustment for bass and all the other drivers we had it sounding for som...
|

I just noticed the empty space at the location where your midbass horns are/were positioned. Am I blind or are they missing?Edit: I must be very stupid - the photo is probably taken before they were installed... :-))...

OK, would you say the weak link would then be:1) Just the topology of Lamhorn (single driver with back-loaded horn appendix)2) Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general3) Or any single driver loudspeaker in generalOr perhaps a better quest...
|
|
[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Good question, HookEm. I would say my answer would be 2, “Any single driver back-loaded loudspeaker in general”. Do not get me wrong, driving your, or any other single drivers would do fine by ML2.0 and you will be able to...

[quote user="Jordi"] The secret is the K-Horns with ALL the mods!!! If you heard it you wouild know what I'm talking about! . [/quote]
The K-Horns were Klipsch’s attempt to do something more or less reasonably sounding. They were doing K-Horns...

I am NOT talking about single wideband drivers or any back loaded type horns. I am talking about properly made front loaded horns.
For example, the Danley Synergy horns, that use single horn with multiple drivers to cover a wide band...

Attila from Hungary send me emails telling that he got CNC lathe, carver and the rest of gear and that he is very much willing to make horns. He asked: “I would like to ask your opinion, what type of horns people most need”. I find it is interesting...

Outdoor performances always seem to me to fall short of indoor ones, and there are plenty of reasons why this should be so, but there is something attractive about a horn installation in a garden...it ought really to be made of rock, of course, f...

Yes, the subject of the post is very accurate description of the sound that we have in that video. It is not surprise to me as know many of those fools spreading vintage paranoia and this is very frequently the sound they end up with. There are reaso...
|

actually I'm from Iran and needless to say we are stock in the middle of nowhere here (sanctions,...) so we weren't able to hear much of the horn speakers, so we started to think we should do it ourselves because we are able to obtain CDs much easier...

You said are lucky to get hornloading down to 150Hz. Then I guess you suggest you will end up at maybe 175Hz. Hornloading a compression driver down to 175Hz is not too difficult and the horn will not be larger than the Avantgarde Trio midbass horn, a...
|
|
Romy, Is there a consistent effect from too large/too small and how is it analyzed? Working on a new horn that I had turned by a fellow in Hungary and have made my back chamber so that I can easily manipulate the volume but have no idea of what to e...

Tonight I finished two
horns at once. One was a shortened Goto S-150 horn that now has a
Fane S 8M, without back chamber so far. Dimensions are now 1.1m deep, 11cm throat, 75cm mouth. It is replacing the Avantgarde
Trio midbass horn r...

As some of your know
Anthony live in AU and they have for themselves a site where Anthony regularly
post the progress of his project. I do not post in there, I was banned from
there, I am not sure why but usually it is because I refuse to suck the...

I used to have Edgar 80hz straight horns and this was my only experience with short midbass horns. I did not like them in my system and sold them. Lately, I have been wondering about these designs in general and is there such a thing as a good soundi...

Jorge,Thanks for that information. I am just about over COVID-19. It really wasn't too bad, but it did stop me from doing just about everything. I do have some follow up questions but I am still not thinking too straight yet. I hope to be posti...

Being a trumpeter, I certainly have an opinion about this - on many levels.I believe one of the major benefits of a trumpet (horn) is the ability to completely melt into the orchestral fabric or with ease move outside when MY voice in my opinion has ...
